Ohio Mega Millions winner claims $60 million jackpot from convenience store
A lucky ticket holder in Ohio has scooped a $60 million Mega Millions jackpot. The winning numbers were drawn on Sunday, March 17, marking the second massive win in just seven days.
The winning ticket was purchased at Tyler's Short Stop, a convenience store in Van Wert, Ohio. Store staff confirmed the sale but did not release further details about the buyer.
Two other Ohio players also matched enough numbers to win $20,000 each. The main jackpot winner now faces a choice: take the full $60 million as an annuity or opt for a one-time cash payment of $27.1 million. No further information has been released about the winner's identity or when they will claim the prize. Meanwhile, no details exist about a separate $244.2 million Mega Millions win, including its date, location, or recipient.
The Ohio Lottery will confirm the winner's identity once the prize is officially claimed. For now, the $60 million jackpot remains uncollected. The store that sold the ticket may also receive a bonus for the winning sale.
